Final Fundraising Campaign Launched to Secure the Future of the John W. Jung Memorial
Thursday, September 01, 2011
For five years, the John W. Jung Memorial has carried out its mission to celebrate John’s life by recognizing student achievement and helping those with addictions.
The Memorial is proud to have five outstanding young individuals as recipients of its annual scholarship award program. You can read all about our recipients and their incredible success at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and beyond on our Scholarship page.
Without you, our generous donors, we would not have accomplished all that we have over these five years. John’s memory lives on thanks to you.
This month, we are embarking on new and final mission—to secure the Memorial financially in perpetuity. If we succeed, we will be able to fully-endow the Memorial Fund and provide annual scholarships to worthy young individuals by using the fund’s growth and interest and preserving its principle.
Please become a lasting part of John’s legacy by becoming a Forever Donor. As a Forever Donor, your sponsorship will help the John W. Jung Memorial live on in perpetuity. Your donation is 100% tax-deductible. You can also consider one of our many other giving levels. For your generosity, you will be named on the organization’s Angel Page, get the opportunity to meet scholarship applicants and recipients, receive ongoing news and events updates/invites and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that your investment secures the Memorial for eternity.

Date Marks Five Year Anniversary of John’s Passing
Friday, August 26, 2011
It was five years ago that the friends and family of John W. Jung lost a young man whose smile, courage and spirit brightened the world he lived in. He brightened many worlds, actually.
From his childhood hometown of Brookfield, Wisconsin to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, John made lasting friendships and developed leadership qualities that would shape his career and the lives of those he touched.
From the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, to practicing medicine in New York City, John left his mark on the East Coast all before the age of 30.
Five years later, we acknowledge the incredible loss of John and the place he holds in many of our hearts. However, we also celebrate 1,825 days in which John’s spirit has influenced all things—big and small—in the lives of both friends and strangers alike.
Even those who will never meet him but have learned of him understand the remarkable ambition and joy he brought to the world. More than ten successful years of a Spring student event on the UW-Madison Campus, called All Campus Party, thrives as an alcohol-free alternative in-part because of his dedication to making it happen.
Starting in September, the John W. Jung Memorial will mark its fifth anniversary by launching a final fundraising campaign. This opportunity to secure the Memorial’s future and endow its annual Scholarship Fund in perpetuity will forever enrich the lives of young people. Look for more information in the coming weeks.
